fix one thing and something else breaks
anyway, on my way home tonight i noticed that as my rpm dropped to <2000rpm-ish, my battery light came on dimly. during normal driving its perfectly fine.
i check the charging voltage and it was @ about 14v on idle. if i rev it up it doesnt really alter much.
battery voltage was @ 13v, but i had only just stopped driving.
battery is brand new about a month ago. same with the alternator belt.
car runs fine, putting more or less load on the electrical system doesnt make any difference to the brightness of the light. sometimes the light will go off for a bit and then flicker back on without doing anything to it.
i would assume alternator, but the charging voltage seems reasonable to me. any ideas?
